Sarah McInerney case set for High Court as RTE appeals PRSI ruling
Briefly

This conflict is significant, potentially impacting 20 presenters, and RTÉ has allocated €11 million in their budget to manage the expected fallout from this situation. The core issue concerns whether these individuals should be classified as independent contractors instead of employees, which may have considerable legal and financial implications.
The ongoing legal battle between RTÉ and the State revolves around the classification of top earners, many of whom are treated as independent contractors instead of employees.
